My Brown-Haired Boy

So, I never really expected my child to be born with a head of dark hair. I am blond and had white fuzz when I was born, and my husband had light red fuzz when he was born. My grandmother is Swedish and her blond genes run very strongly through her family. Of course, my brother has dark hair and my Dad's side is Polish with quite a bit of dark hair, so the possibility has always been very much there, I just didn't expect it...

Here's my firstborn and his head of strawberry blond fuzz:

This is my second, just hours old, with the brown hair that surprised me so much:

So, for the past two weeks, I've had the song 'Brown-Eyed Girl' running through my head...with different words. Big Brother has begun singing with me and we've managed to make up an entire verse of new words for our little walnut. Big Brother can sing almost all the words with me and often breaks into the tune all on his own. It's been a fun little memory for the beginning of Little Brother's life!
